Kitchen light problem?

We moved into our house last April,it was built in the 50's or 60's. We have not had a lot of problems so far but today I switched on the garbage disposal and when I did the overhead flourescant light in the kitchen went out.I tried the switch and it will not come back on,went to the basement and changed the fuse marked Kitchen,and it still won't come back on.Any thoughts?

Update:

I put new bulbs in it yesterday,so I don't think thats the problem

    Odd that they would be any way remotely connected but who knows. I would source the wires and make sure they are properly used.

    It may be the ballast inside that light that has finally gone. They are generally replaceable but do you really want to keep that kind of light anyway?

    there is obviously short circuit someplace between capability source and lightweight. i might advise geting an electrician to look it after and notice is it available to repair it with out thoroughly changing with new one.
